then when she chased me around at recess and tried to lay kisses on me; the whole school
started singing; “Bryce and Juli sitting in a tree; K…I…S…SI…
N…G…”
My first year in town was a disaster。
Third grade wasnt much better。 She was still hot on my trail every time I turned around。
Same with fourth。 But then in fifth grade I took action。
It started out slow — one of those Nah…thats…not…right ideas you get and forget。 But the more
I played with the idea; the more I thought; What
better way to ward Juli off? What better way to say to her; “Juli; you are not my type”?

things way too seriously。 She went around telling everybody — including Juli — that we were
in love。
In no time Juli and Shelly got into some kind of catfight; and while Shelly was recovering from
that; my supposed friend Garrett — who had been
totally behind this plan — told her what I was up to。 Hes always denied it; but Ive since
learned that his code of honor is easily corrupted by weepy
females。

jerk; which was even worse than having Juli as a
